Willing to make wallpapers

1 - Damn! I should have thought of naming them that. Nice. OK, PMing you a link for the zip file. Any feedback/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. And thanks a ton!

2 - God, I haven't used Paint in years, but are you saving them as a .png? Might help. I use SumoPaint (online) & GIMP (offline) for 99.5% of the ones I do, and I think the results are satisfactory. Sumo is almost as quick and easy as Paint, I'd say. For a (rambling & possibly incomprehensible) explanation of how I resize in Sumo, see: http://androidforums.com/android-themes/92348-willing-make-wallpapers-52.html#post2678948

Sumo: .: Sumo Paint 3.5 :.
GIMP: GIMP - The GNU Image Manipulation Program

3 - Yes, I did use your referral. I needed a place to upload zip file for the icons. Thanks!

4 - Could you get to the bottom of what's going on with this thread lately? First it was listed in a themes guide thread that was stickied, then that was removed. Then is was renamed, then stickied and now un-stickied? It all seem a little... odd. :confused:

Word!! Thanks, been saving them as jpegs.... will play around with them a little more.

And the way we have been doing sticky's forum wide is in the process of changing so i will make some queries about what is going on in here!!

Thanks for the eyecons!!
(ps: put your referral link in sig and you will get mass free storage, i'm up to 7 1/2gig free) or just email everyone you know, lol

Yeah, I don't think Paint saves .jpg's in full quality. I'm not sure. But I save all my custom wallpapers as .jpg's (from Sumo or GIMP) to save space and they look pretty good to me.

Thanks for checking into that. With all I've put into this thread it just seems to me someone could have kept me in the loop with all those changes... :confused:

Let me know how those work out when you get the time.

Yea when i do wallpapers and other stuff it looks fine but ALL my screenshots look like crap. I got a 24' widescreen samsung so starting resolution is WAY high (dont remember off top off head) so not sure if that plays a factor

We are moving in a different direction, and will not be using the stickied guides in certain forums where it may not be efficient. I removed that particular guide, and stickied (most) the threads that were in it.

I did include yours in the beginning as I was going through the guide but then realize there were some more universal type threads that could be stickied instead. In an effort to reduce clutter and not make the stickies look too overwhelming, I had 4 (including yours) but then took yours off to shorten the list. This matter of a certain number of stickies per forum was discussed in the moderator's forum as Rob thought they were a little too much, which was why the guides were implemented; so I did not want to create the same situation as before, unless absolutely necessary.

Hoped that clarified everything.
 
RIGHT! eyebeam!! challenge time!!!! :D:D:D:D:D

actually not that hard lol

I want the SAME three screens you've done me with the andys BUT...and heres the big but;

1. All the green guidlines round the 'widgets' to be a electric blue (tron like)
2. The Andys to be a bit more machine/circuity like rather than the green...so im thinking a lil black an blue mixed in if you get the idea.
3. Replace the 'htc' circles background with a circuity tron like background....NO image though but just a circuit board abstracty like image...

main thing is....alot of bright blues for lining things...andy's to change colour and maybe look a lil machine like and obviously a dark background..

oh and I say again just leave EVERYTHING where it is....I love the placements of the 'widgets' so all that needs changing is just colours and background etc..

and I needed it by last weekend ;) nah I know your busy anyways and I see your away for a day so whenever is suitable for you eyeB :D

Well not quite, but thanks for some clarification on the matter. What's mostly got me a little bent out of shape is the renaming of the thread because - 1: People knew the thread by it's previous name and had it bookmarked as such, and 2: If it was going to be changed, I would have liked to be asked about it (or at the very least, notified of it).

But again, I appreciate your taking the time to try to clear things up.

That all seems pretty doable, but I will need some time to figure out how best to do it. Give me a couple of days on that one.

Hi eyebeam,

Any chance you could make a Sonya (character from Mortal Kombat) background for my HTC Desire HD?

Thanks,

Hello again dangus. Sure, I can probably put something together for you. Let me poke around a bit and see what I can find to use. I should have something by tomorrow.

Is there anychance of taking these wallpapers an just changing them JUST slightly...

I like the andys and the dock...but the background itself (the circuitry work) seems a lil TOO dark that the andys and dock just melt into it and it kinda looks a bit messy...

anychance on just lightening the background a lil so they seperate?

See my post above about being a little backed-up. However I don't foresee any problem changing the background as requested. Hopefully, I'll be back in the groove tomorrow.

Alright then dangus, here ya go. Hope you like it. Let me know.

p.s. Yeah, I know (now) that I misspelled Sonya on the file name and the description. You know what they say - you get what you pay for! :D:p;) Edit: Ok, I'm too OCD to jsut let it go, so I corrected the description and tag. But I'm NOT deleting the image, opening it up with an editor, changing the file name and then re-uploading it just to fix that! (ok, yeah I probably will, when it bugs me enough :o.)

You know how to save 'em right? If not see one of my posts above.

Thanks for letting me know. I actually did try lightening the previous background, but I wasn't remotely happy with the results no matter how much more tinkering I did. So I thought it best to go another way. Glad you like the red - I thought it added a nice contrast. :)
 
The first picture of Bane from the upcoming The Dark Knight Rises movie has been leaked ... I had to create a wallpaper with it. Here you go ...
